SOFTWARE TESTING METHODOLOGIES (CS615PE)
COURSE PLANNER
I. COURSE OVERVIEW:
This course will examine fundamental software testing and program analysis techniques. In
particular, the important phases of testing will be reviewed, emphasizing the significance
of each phase when testing different types of software. Students will learn the state of the
art in testing technology for object-oriented, component-based, concurrent, distributed,
graphical-user interface, and web software. In addition, closely related concepts such as
mutation testing and program analysis (e.g., program-flow and data-flow analysis) will
also be studied. Emerging concepts such as test-case prioritization and their impact on
testing will be examined. Students will gain hands-on testing/analysis experience via a
multi-phase course project. By the end of this course, students should be familiar with
the state-of-the-art in software testing. Students should also be aware of the major open
research problems in testing.
II. PRE-REQUISITES:
• Software engineering
III. COURSE OBJECTIVIES:
1. To provide knowledge of the concepts in software testing such as testing process, criteria,
strategies, and methodologies.
2. To develop skills in software test automation and management using latest tools.
